#SeeLebanonForYourself is an initiative by Beirut’s Phoenicia Hotel to highlight the beauty of Lebanon through high quality virtual images. The Virtual Reality campaign was kicked off a week ago (but halted due to recent events) and aims at showing Lebanon’s gems through high quality virtual images..

You can enjoy the virtual tour in three different ways:
– Desktop: This is the simplest where you just drag the mouse to move the panorama.
– Mobile: Using the gyro icon, just move your phone around in 360 degrees.
– 3D imaging: You can use Google Cardboard, Samsung gear VR or Oculus rift.

The website is simple and loads very quickly. The images are breathtaking and you can easily zoom in and out. The areas currently available are the following:
– Baalbeck
– Jeita Grotto
– Saydit el Nourieh
– Saida Souq
– Balou3 Balaa
– Saida Sea Castle
– Beiteddine Hammam

And more will be added soon.

Despite everything that’s been happening in Lebanon, there are always new initiatives aimed at showing what Lebanon is truly about and reminding us that we live in a beautiful country.
